Today we're heading back to 2004 to take a look at PearPC - a PowerPC emulator for Windows and Linux. Prior to Apple's switch to Intel processors, it was one of the ways you could experience OS X without owning an Apple computer!

God, PearPC. That brings back memories. I'm pretty sure that Halo didn't launch because the emulator doesn't support graphics acceleration. It's a common issue with OS X virtualization and emulation, as emulating graphics hardware is a bit obtuse. If you can get QE/CI working entirely under software, you've got something good going.

BTW, I coded the initial implementation of a mouse capture/release, just by moving the mouse in and out of the emulator's window (instead of pressing a shortcut key). Unfortunately, I don´t think my code was ever merged as someone (at the same time) did a much better job and rewrote the whole serial/mouse stack.

Halo would obviously require some pretty advanced 3D acceleration, and I wouldn't think that PearPC has that. Even QEMU lacks that today when it comes to PowerPC system emulation.

I'm fairly certain Halo needs OpenGL acceleration. I don't know if the G3 Clamshell had the needed drivers or hardware, but I do know that my Beige G3/333 would _not_ because Mac OS X never had 3D drivers for the built-in GPU (ATI Rage, IIRC). And there's no way that emulator supports anything 3D, not only due to its alpha state, but because _very_ few emulators even do 3D acceleration emulation or pass-thru. There is a new emulator on the Mac emulator scene called DingusPPC. However, it is still very new, and probably won't even be able to run Halo (the upper limit they're aiming for, hardware-wise, is a Beige G3 (including GPU); See comment above about Mac OS X support for 3D), but it shows promise.

I remember trying PearPC years ago but it was too slow to be useable. I suspect the JIT feature hadn't been added yet. To me it's always been a bit of an oddity since there wasn't much "regular" software for that era of Macintosh that didn't also have a corresponding Windows version. So you may as well just run the Windows version natively. How well does PearPC run on a more modern PC? A video on BasiliskII might be worthwhile. It was a predecessor to PearPC, for running MacOS 7 or 8 under emulation. Unlike PearPC the emulation was fast enough to be perfectly useable. I don't know if BasiliskII is still under development but there are builds to run it under recent versions of MacOS. It also runs under Windows and Linux. I remember running it years ago under Windows XP on an AMD K6-2 350 (from 1998) and the emulator was faster than a PowerBook 190cs from 1995. On a modern PC the emulation just flies, though I've never actually tried running games on it. A good test might be something like IndyCar Racing 2 from 1996.

Only a 256mb ram setup so nothing amazing even for the time and it was super snappy i also had pentium 4 but the 1.5ghz chip circa 2000.

@12:01 I'm not surprised Halo didn't work. My experience with PPC emulation (Basilisk II, Sheepshaver, qemu, ect) trying to play the few Mac exclusive titles has been non of the emulators have true hardware 3d accelerated graphics, meaning except for simple 2d games I still need to pull out my bulky IMac g3 or g5 tower when I want to play an 3d tittles. qemu at least reports hardware acceleration to the guest OS allowing some 3D games that "require" hardware acceleration to run, but it's all software rendering and often slow. I read online if you can tracked down the correct AMD card (I haven't manged to) possibly requiring a pci to pcie adapter, you can setup gpu pass-through to the PPC guest. Someone started working on Rage ATI emulation for qemu, when using a build of qemu with that, it enables more 3D games to run with software rendering. However it was even slower then vanilla qemu. Ironically waiting for 3D acceleration to come to these emulators, I have seen the games I wanted to emulate slowly be given source ports on github. So one day it might not be necessary for me to this at all.

I didn’t use this emulator, but I did run hackintosh versions of Mac OS I found online. Even though it ran natively on Intel hardware, there was still a lot of limitations, so much so that I end up buying a Mac Mini in 2009. I since bought 4 Mac Book Pros (last user upgradeable Mac Book pro, I upgraded the HDD to SSD, I had already configured it to have 8 gigs of RAM when cpu got old, I got the first Mac Book Pro with Touch Bar. When Dual Core CPU got too slow, I traded it in for Final Intel based MacBook Pro. Then I traded it in for a M2 Pro Mac Book Pro). I also had built gaming PCs and had game consoles. But I primarily game on PC now. Mac Book Pro is a video editing beast. Yeah I guess could video edit on my gaming rig which isn’t a slouch. But Mac sips energy. Gaming rig sucks 600watts full tilt. 😅 Intel 13700k 32 GB DDR4 3600 (I bought early so DDR 5 motherboards were really expensive, I would have gone DDR5 if they were the price they are now) 500GB WD NVME SSD - OS drive Older 2TB Intel NVME SSD Gigabyte Radeon RX 6800 XT (cheapest high end video card with 16GB of vram at the time)

I tried this back in the day and the system requirements were crazy, I could barely get a few frames per second and a lot of things didn't work. Still cool tho

Perhaps I’m wrong, but as far as I remember, OSX was built for both PPC and X86 CPUs. But the x86 official public compiled version started from 10.4 tiger. I never was able to find a x86 version prior 10.4, although Steve Jobs himself told the world that indeed they existed. When he showed the transition to the public he was running a P4 3.4 ghz with HT on tiger 10.4. I would imagine all the x86 clones if this was leaked somehow.

Fun experiment for the 98 pc or the hp laptop, try to run Tiny11. If it can run Win7 it can surely handle a stripped down version of Win11
